Trainer 3

Trainer 3 is the most widely used sports system in the Trainer Series of wood flooring. Instead of a sleeper system, it incorporates two layers of 15/32” plywood installed directly over a series of shock pads. Trainer 3’s plywood support creates a solid surface, while the shock pads reduce stress on lower extremities through shock absorption.

The ClutchCourt Trainer 3 system is the most popular maple sports floor in the Trainer Series. Unlike other systems, Trainer 3 incorporates two 15/32” plywood layers that sit directly on 3/8” shock pads. This significant foundation gives the system a solid feel and consistent performance under high traffic.

1 – Shock Pads: These 3/8" rubber shock pads provide comfort and shock absorption to the Performance system. They are available in a variety of different constructions with different durometer measurements.

2 – Plywood: This layer consists of two 15/32” sheets of plywood, which offers a stable foundation for the system.

3 – Northern Maple: The surface of the Performance system is made of 25/32” or 33/32” Northern Maple from WD Flooring in Wisconsin, a MFMA maple flooring provider.

A Consistent Competitive Surface: Wood gym flooring is the most common type of indoor sports flooring, especially in facilities that host high-level competitive teams. Choosing Trainer 3 insures that your team is accustomed to playing on hardwood surfaces.

FSC® Chain of Custody Certification: Through certification with the Rainforest Alliance, Trainer 3 and all other ClutchCourt systems can be purchased with FSC® Chain of Custody certification. This certification insures that environmentally responsible forestry practices were used at every stage of production.

Quality Manufacturing: Trainer 3 is manufactured by Tarkett Sports in partnership with WD Flooring, combining the vast sports flooring experience of both organizations. As members of the Maple Flooring Manufacturers’ Association (MFMA), Tarkett and WD are committed to the highest quality standards in the industry.

Industry Leading Warranty Protection: Trainer 3's quality is backed by a 10-year warranty that offers the highest level of protection in the industry.

Maple Grades

Premium Grade Maple: Premium Maple includes only boards that are free of any discoloration or distinguishing marks. This grade yields a court surface with the most visually uniformity.

Second Grade Maple: By far the most popular grade option, Second Grade Maple creates an aesthetically unique court by blending some boards with visible grain marks and others that are unmarked.

Third Grade Maple: Third Grade Maple is the least expensive of the ClutchCourt maple grades. A majority of the boards included in this grade have distinguishing marks and unique grains, creating a court with distinct character.
